Follow The Directions

01

Step

5 mins

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a medium or large casserole dish with cooking spray. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

5 mins

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped onions, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until translucent. Transfer to a large mixing bowl. (Cook time: 5 minutes)

03

Step

15 mins

Add shredded chicken to the bowl with the sautéed onions. Incorporate chopped spinach and whipped cream cheese, mixing thoroughly until well combined. Fold in half of the shredded mozzarella cheese, ensuring no clumps of cream cheese remain. Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish, and sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese evenly over the top. (Prep time: 15 minutes)

04

Step

30 mins

Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted and golden brown, and the filling is bubbly. (Bake time: 30 minutes)

05

Step

10 mins

Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving. (Cooling time: 10 minutes)

For a vegetarian option, omit the chicken and add sautéed mushrooms or artichoke hearts.
To prevent the casserole from becoming too watery, ensure the spinach is well-drained after chopping.
Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as Gruyere or Parmesan, for a more complex flavor profile.
